Chapter 4

"There's no use running, I've told them where you are." Shelke said. Aeris just began to walk away. "I can't let you leave." Shelke said trying to get her attention. Aeris turned around and released her vectors at Shelke and then when they were an inch away from her Aeris stopped them. "Don't even think of moving." Aeris said bitterly and continued to walk away. "Stop right there!" Shelke yelled trying once more to get her attention. Aeris turned her around once more and used one of her vectors to knock Shelke down.

"I was going to let you live, but now your being a pain in the ass so I might as well kill you."Aeris said emotionless. Shelke just stood up "This doesn't hurt me." Shelke then released her vectors and knocked Aeris onto the gravestones. Shelke walked up to Aeris and began to choke Aeris with her vectors leaving Aeris helpless. While choking her Shelke simply said. "I'm not going to kill you, I'm just making sure you suffer after what you did to Papa."

Meanwhile at Cloud's house. "Cloud do you want to be perverted around me like with Aerith?" Tifa asked. Cloud snapped out of his thoughts. "We should probably look for Aerith, who knows what could happen to her." Cloud said even more worried than before. Tifa then banged her head on the wall "Is that all you ever want to talk and pay any attention to is Aerith?!" she yelled "Nowadays you never talk to me about anything anymore." Cloud walked towards her. "I just don't want you to be worried." Tifa then shot him the nastiest glare in the world. "How come I can't worry about you. Lately it seems the only one you worry and care about is Aerith." Tifa then fell to the floor and cried. Cloud went to comfort her but she literally pushed him away and yelled at the top of her lungs. "You're so stupid, I hate you with all my soul!" then once again she ran out of the house.

Tifa began to walk on the street when she remembered Cloud's mother's and Priscilla's funeral. Tifa asked a woman at the funeral "Where's Cloud I can't find him anywhere?" The woman had told her that Cloud was in the hospital. He was so petrified with pain that he couldn't so much as speak. Tifa then began to cry. "Maybe this is the hardest thing Cloud has to deal with." she said to herself.

Shelke was still choking Aeris. "If I was trying to kill you Aeris you would've already died three times in a row." she said cocky. Aeris managed to throw gravestones at her, but Shelke managed to dodge them unfortunately her grip on Aeris was getting loose.

Yuffie was beginning to go into a bakery. The lady at the counter gently smiled at her. "How old are you Yuffie?" she sweetly asked. "I'm fifteen," Yuffie said "I'll be sixteen tomorrow." she said sadly. The lady gave her some stale bread and Yuffie left. As Yuffie was walking out she ran into Tifa. Tifa looked at the stale bread in her hands. As soon as Yuffie saw this she ran off.

"Are you ready to go back? With your vectors you don't stand a chance." Shelke said calmly then finally Aeris broke free of Shelke's grip and the two started a battle causing a lot of noise. Yuffie heard this as she was walking and wanted to know what was happening. Aeris then used one of her vectors and punched Shelke in the stomach. Then Yuffie arrived and she recognized Aeris. Shelke then got Aeris by the leg with a vector. "I'm going to make sure you can't walk anymore." Shelke said. But before Shelke could do anything Yuffie told Shelke to stop. While Shelke was caught off guard Aeris had cut off some of Shelke's fingers and a leg. Yuffie was terrified and screamed as loud as she could. Aeris then grabbed Yuffie with a vector and threw her on the ground extremely hard. "This hurts." Shelke said raspily as she laid on the ground.

Aeris then walked over to her. "This doesn't hurt me." Shelke said again. Aeris then grabbed her other arm and ripped it off. Shelke winced in pain. "Does it hurt yet?" Aeris said nastily. Shelke then limped away saying no. Aeris then lunged at her and tore off her other arm and leg and said "Does it hurt now?" Shelke fell to the ground and cried out "Papa?!" Aeris walked over to her again "If it does hurt which it does, don't worry I'm now going to rid you of your pain." All of sudden a shot was fired at Aeris barely missing her. Aeris looked around. SOLDIERs were trying to kill her from far away. Dyne then appeared only to see Shelke dismembered. Shelke then moved her vectors towards Aeris' eyes. Aeris then realized she couldn't move her vectors. She picked up Shelke by the neck and yelled "What the hell did you do?!"

"Stop right there Aeris!" Dyne said. Aeris turned around to see thousands of SOLDIERs all aiming their guns at her. One scientist next to Dyne looked at Shelke and said "Professor Dyne I'm afraid that number seven is done for." Dyne then ran to her and began holding her in his arms. "I'm sorry, I failed you Papa." Shelke said as tears began to form in her eyes. Dyne hugged her and asked gently "Shelke why didn't you wait for us?" Shelke then responded "I thought that if I could capture Aeris on my own you would praise me." and passed out. Aeris was puzzled and asked rudely "Hey Dyne I thought your daughter kicked off years ago." He turned around and had fire in his eyes. He then walked over to Aeris and said to her angrily but calmly "She did, I killed her long ago." He then slapped Aeris so hard she fell to the ground. Everyone was completely astounded. "What I just did isn't even so much as close to the pain Shelke feels right now, but that's the best I could muster up." Dyne said harshly, The other scientist then ordered the SOLDIERs to hold their fire. Dyne then picked up Shelke. When he did Shelke then whispered "Papa am I worthless to you now?" Dyne shushed then hugged her warmly "No you aren't, but now is not the time to speak such things." He said walking away holding her in his arms.

Tifa remembered when she had entered the bakery and was asked the bakery employee who the girl was. "Her name is Yuffie she comes in here almost everyday and is always wearing the same clothes. I beginning to think that she has no home." she answered sadly. " I think I should tell Cloud about all of this." Tifa said as she went back to his house. She then had heard a helicopter.

In the helicopter Dyne was holding a bandaged up Shelke. Then the phone rang the scientist that accompanied answered it and said. "Professor, it's Miss Shera." Dyne took the phone. And answered with "Hello?" Shera then responded "Hello Professor Dyne it me, Shera I'm afraid I have some bad news. President Shinra, the head of the Shinra building wants to have a word with you."

Tifa was still on her way back from the store when she spotted Aeris who was now back to Aerith. Aerith then saw Tifa then she ran up to Tifa, hugged her and then started crying. Tifa then noticed on Aerith's arm there was a cut. She then took the pink ribbon in Aerith's hair and wrapped it around the cut. She gently smiled "We should go home. It's not right of me to be jealous of you Aerith." Aerith just stared at her blankly.

Cloud was pacing nervously throughout his house. "They're late." he then looked at the clock but then remembered it was broken. The phone began to ring. Cloud answered it and was asked to come to the hospital.

Cloud arrived at the hospital when a nurse came to him. "Thank goodness you're someone found this girl and brought her here." Cloud looked in the room and was shocked to see that the girl was Yuffie while he thought it was Tifa or Aerith. After a while Cloud accompanied Yuffie out of the hospital. "I told them that you were relative that came for a visit." He said sternly but gently. "I'm really sorry sir, I'll find a way to pay for the bills." she said almost ready to cry. "That doesn't matter right now, what matters is why didn't you call your parents?" as soon as he finished Yuffie's stomach began to growl. Cloud ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "Come on let's go home I'll get you something to eat there."

Cloud, Yuffie, and Nanaki entered the house to find that Tifa and Aerith were home already. Aerith then ran up to Cloud and hugged him. Yuffie looked at Aerith and began to wonder about what had happened at the graveyard while Aerith smiled gently at her. "Arms and legs don't just come off on their own." Yuffie mumbled. "What did you say Yuffie?" Cloud asked. "Oh don't worry it's nothing." she said as they sat down to eat.

After dinner Tifa told Yuffie to take a bath. As soon as Yuffie got the tub ready she began to think that Cloud and Tifa were nice people then Aerith helped Yuffie get the tub ready. Tifa then told Cloud what she saw at the bakery and that's she thinks Yuffie is homeless. "To be honest I think Yuffie ran away, we should turn her over to the police, but since they're after Aerith we can't trust them." Cloud said. He then told Tifa everything about what happened that night when Aerith broke the materia and ran away. "So that's why you were so concerned about Aerith." she replied. "I'm sorry if I made you feel left out." Cloud said guiltily. "No, it's okay I'm the one who should apologize." Then they both smiled.

Then Aerith opened the door while completely in the nude. Tifa then lead Aerith back to the bathroom. "I'm really sorry." Yuffie said. Tifa then asked Yuffie if she wanted to stay the night. "I wouldn't want to be a burden." Yuffie said again. "Don't worry there are plenty of rooms here, you won't be a bother at all." Tifa said kindly.

At the Shinra Building the President was talking with Dyne. "We can certainly not lose any Cetra in the process, but nonetheless you're going to have to kill Shelke. I'm afraid a worthless Cetra like her will cause us even more problems then we already have. After killing so many already I can't let you refuse." Dyne got out of his chair and then said "I understand." and quietly and sadly walked. Just then President Shinra got a call from his son Rufus Shinra who was a doctor and professor at a local university. "Father I'm afraid I'm going to need more funding for the vaccine because it close to being ready. By the way what happened to the Cetra that escaped?" President Shinra then hung up the phone then said "That's none of your damn business." After he hung up Rufus' assistant, Elena told Rufus the vaccine was almost ready she then said "I can't believe they didn't find the escaped Cetra yet." then left the lab and went home. As soon as she left Rufus mumbled to himself "I'm not going give this vaccine to my father just like that." he then turned to look at a photo of Aeris. "I can assure you you'll be mine." Rufus then got out a knife and slashed the picture in half.

At the Shinra building Shera handed Dyne a tube full of a vaccine. "They'll put her to sleep with this then they'll get rid of her." Dyne then took the tube from her hands and said "I'll do it." Shera nodded understanding and walked away. He entered Shelke's cell and held her head up. Shelke then opened her eyes and said "Papa?" tears began to form in his eyes "Shelke, this might hurt a little." He injected the vaccine into her. Shelke then closed her eyes. All Dyne could do now was hold her corpse close to him and cry.
